U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Cypress (WLB-210) serves as the center point during a U.S. Navy Blue Angels performance at the 2017 Pensacola Beach Air Show. The Blue Angels and Cypress forged an enduring relationship after Cypress hoisted a 30,000-pound Blue Angels F/A-18 off the seafloor. The pilot safely ejected. Cypress maintains buoys and beacons that help to keep Gulf Coast mariners and the U.S. maritime economy on course. U.S. Coast Guard photo.
